The Woman behind AWS

My name is Cassie Kitchens and I am the owner, maker, and designer - a one woman shop. 

When I was a little gal, I dreamt of becoming an architect. I would draw houses thinking it was what architects did. You see, my dad was a fabricator and had his own welding business. He built things, he would bring home blueprints and let me in on what he was up to. And I suppose I fell in love with the idea of building things too. I remember we would sit up at night talking about what we were going to design together such as staircase rails, etc. Getting to the point here... I have always been the artsy kind, always wanting to build something with my hands, and I have always been an entrepreneur at heart.

I created AWS because I wanted to build something of my own in my own way. I didn't become an architect but I did get a drafting certificate somewhere along the way, haha. 

As a young woman I always loved shopping for the next eye catching purse or wallet, like most women. And I don't mean shopping for a new in style purse everytime a new one came out.

I would go into a store - just glance through all the purses and wallets, and if THE purse did not stand out, it was a no for me. It had to be simple but also stand out, it needed to be elegant in the details, and classy for my style. 

This was my process for a long time until I realized I enjoy designing & making them more! 

So, here we are!

I strive to bring you high quality leather designs in the form of handmade womens and mens wallets, jewelry, belts, and crossbody purses. And whatever else I decide to make next.

Every product is hand stitched by me and carefully made for that simple, elegant, and classy look. 

I hope you enjoy your chosen product and that it lasts you a lifetime.

From my hands - literally, to yours.
